Recent Playa Carrillo Reviews

We stayed in rainy season, but still had a lot of good weather. The location is great - a car is recommended, the house is very nice and we especially enjoyed the deck, pool, view, and howler monkeys in the nearby trees. The house was clean and well laid out. Free wifi and tv a real bonus. Easy walking to a few local restaurants. Driving into Samara is 10 minutes and Carrillo beach just a couple of minutes away is beautiful and untouched. The locals are friendly and helpful and despite only having minimal tourist Spanish we had no issues with language. Highly recommended.

Everything was as easy as could be. The owner was very responsive to some initial questions.
Upon arrival we were met and given a tour of the house and a demo on how to operate everything. The kitchen is really nice with modern appliances and a big granite island. There is ac in the bedrooms that was nice to use, but some nights we just slept with the fan and windows open (all windows have screens and security bars). In short, it's a very nice house.
The view is terrific and the property makes you feel like you're all alone, even though there are other houses around. It's very peaceful to sit on the porch and listen to the sounds.
The nearest beach and town are laid back. There's more of a Tico feel than tourist feel, which was what we were looking for.
One thing to note was that one night the wifi stopped working so I called the property manager on the house phone. They were very responsive and made the call to the company, set up the appointment for the repair, and waited for the technician to show up to repair. We knew this was going to be happening while we were out exploring the next day so it was not an inconvinience at all. When we returned that night the wifi was repaired and all the trash cans were emptied. I believe that this small gesture demonstrates the property managers attention to detail and true care for the renters. Sure, it's not a big deal to empty the trash cans but, hey, we were on vacation and it was one less chore to deal with! So thanks again if you're reading this.
